Isn't it great that we can once again tear children away from their mothers because nobody can afford to survive without two incomes?

Lowkey President Kamala would be hilarious. Imagine her using infantile language to describe every single thing that happens.
"A budget is when a bunch of people decide what to spend money on and what not to spend money on" thanks but how are you going to deal with the impending government shutdowns?

Imagine being such a control freak that you'd shut down an entire protocol from talking to you.
Man, I'd hate running my sites if I had to micromanage like that!

The proof in the pudding is in the eating.
Neither covid nor the covid vaccine were the harbingers of death warned about. Both made a bunch of people sick, but the worst part about the latter is it didn't really help prevent the former.
Even WHO data puts four years of covid deaths at orders of magnitude less deaths than two years of the 1918 Spanish flu, despite there being 4 times more people on earth than there was back then.
Four years of Canadian covid deaths about match two years of Spanish flu deaths, despite the population of Canada at the time being nearly one quarter of what it is today.
Some people claim there's a form of covid AIDS going around, but there's been 4 years for that to manifest and what we see is people moving on with their lives, not millions of people dying of covid AIDS in the 4 years and now uncountable cases that have occurred.
When it comes to "long covid" or chronic effects of a pathogen, I think both tuberculosis and polio were massively larger threats, both with imminent, obvious, chronic danger posed to those who get it most of the time. Compared to a small percentage having some chronic effects, I don't think there's a comparison. Give me covid 10 times before I'd want polio once.
Prior to antibiotics, tuberculosis could either be active or it could lay latent for a period of time, so you might be carrying it despite being symptom free, after that you could start spreading it. It was a major problem in Canada's history, spreading like wildfire through cities and native reserves and taking many lives in the process and permanently harming many others. Estimates vary, but tuberculosis was estimated to have killed tens of thousands of people in Canada's early history, and measurably and permanently damaged the lungs of tens of thousands more. It wasn't something you needed a study to know was going on, you just needed to look around you and see the damage. As many as half of people who got TB were permanently harmed by it, and it was clear, you didn't need to get out your micrometer to measure it.

We need to increase the only 100% effective measure, MAAID.
Everyone who thinks we need to exercise perpetual authoritarian control over millions of people so they don't get sick should immediately participate. It's the ONLY treatment 100% effective against both getting and spreading COVID. Nobody who successfully received the treatment later suffered from long covid!
In fact, not only does it provide 100% protection against COVID, it also provides 100% protection against terrorism, so everyone who thinks we need to exercise perpetual authoritarian control over millions of people so we don't get caught in a terrorist attack should immediately participate as well. Of the people who successfully receive the treatment, there have been 0 killed in terrorist attacks of any kind!

Man, I love "I Parry Everything". I just finished reading the third volume of the novel series, and the combination of everyone being OP as hell and the main character being totally oblivious to the fact that he's doing absurd things. And it's so short I can blast through a new volume in an evening.
I was sad to see this volume end, but the climax of the story was really satisfying -- clearly this fantasy world has never heard of a trojan horse!

The only problems the Liberals have with fascism is that they want uncle Adolf to smile more.
Apparently the Hollywood writers guild has reached a tentative deal with the big studios.
I say they should keep striking! Strike so long and so hard there isn't even a Hollywood anymore! Show those greedy fat cats what for! They shouldn't quit until LA is just an oil town again!

I always get a kick out of it seeing naive people who have just joined the fediverse proclaiming that defederation will make the defederated alone and miserable.
Meanwhile the defederated seem to have the most fun, being free of the need to walk on eggshells to please some puritan who has proclaimed themselves the moral authority for earth.

It seems to me like a universal failure. The schools and administrators and teachers failed, but it takes a village to fail to teach a child to read or do math.
That said, it sure seems like a failure on a scale that calls for drastic measures like firing everyone involved with education in the whole city...

Its impressive, a massive political faction whose core ask is genocide of humanity. That's why it's called a crisis now, to push people to act without thinking of the ramifications of what they ask for.
Its ok because they put a smiley face on it instead of an angry German guy with a funny moustache. That was the only problem with it apparently.
